Son #2’s color quilt finally done
 

I finally finished my sons color wheel quilt. He helped design it when he was younger. He has his first apartment now so I figured it would be a nice housewarming gift. He loves it and that’s what counts.

Per his request to make the colors flow the best they could we ended up with 32 colors, 32 spokes and 32 rings. It was more time consuming to lay it out and keep the colors straight then it was to paper piece it. Measures 89”. I ran into a few design issues when making it and got them figured out as I went but I don’t have a pattern available. I have had some asked but until I have time to work out the kinks, it’s a no go.

I have since learned that it’s much like a round bargello but have never researched the particulars on how to make one. Might have been easier had I done so but no the less I had fun making this with my son despite the minor challenges.

Thanks for taking a look. I hope you have enjoyed looking at what can come out of the mind of a 12 year old.

Amazing quilt! Great job by you & your son. I have never seen anything like this.

And you say he designed it at 12 years old? My he's good! Love it! I almost felt like I could be sucked into the center hole....almost. Tell him I think he did extremely well, you both did!

Awesome!!!

Wow, loving the colors. You should both be proud.

That is a show stopper! I hope you enter it and win some ribbons. You and your son created a beautiful quilt.❤️

That is very, very cool!

Wow. That is incredible. Perfect time to finish it for his first apartment. :thumbup:

That's totally amazing! You both are also amazing.

Wow, both deserve blue ribbons for this great design and quilt!!!

You are certainly braver than I am! I would hesitate even with a pattern...and you worked it out yourself? Wow!

Wow, super quilt! And kudos to him for his design.

That is an amazing quilt! I would not have the patience to make one like it. A great job! Thanks for sharing.

It's a marvelous quilt . I hope your son continues pursuing his artistic ability .

! That is an amazing and very interesting quilt. So well done and good luck to your Son in his new home.

That is stunning! I can see why it would be a challenge to lay it out.

That is fabulous!!!!!!! Be sure to tell your son how much we love his talent (and yours)!!!

Whew! That is Love in a quilted piece. You must be over the moon happy it is finished.

Amazing. I did a circle bargello but it was nowhere near as beautiful as this one.

You captured the whole idea of a color wheel in this one. Yes, yes, yes! Beautifully made and I am sure your son will treasure it for a lifetime. Well done!

Beautiful. BrendaK
